Naturally, not everyone is interested in the minutiae of hunting down creatures the size of a Macy's Day float, so we've got a few other things going on as well. We'll be hacking in Boston, defending an Aegis, and fighting some aliens. Check it out!

We'll probably never find out exactly what's on their mind, but that won't stop the Co-Opticrew from hunting said monsters down and "harvesting" every usable part they find. Of course, we have more than hunting on the weekend menu. There's also going to be cyber warfare, cultural domination, fantasy sports. Check it out!

Flashbacks to some of my friends’ wireless mice dying at inopportune times nearly a decade ago have caused me to shy away from wireless options in the past. HyperX has yet to fail to impress me, though, so I was happy to give the Cloud Flight a whirl.

So hit this link and read the details and stick around to enter to win an Xbox One X to celebrate our 10 year anniversary, or other great prizes like headsets, streaming microphones from Blue, and more!
